Move your butt!
You job, driving, flying, electronics, movies, or just plain tired… do you sit too much? Well… you better get off your butt & beat cheeks, before you experience:
- Sluggish bowels
- Peristalsis muscle deconditioning
- Slowing metabolism
- And, increased morbidity rate!
That’s right! The more you sit, the more your:
- Internal metabolic chemical reactions may decrease
- Glucose regulation (blood sugar) may decrease
- Decrease muscle mass and overall strength
- Potential weight gain
- And, ultimately, overall physical degeneration and potential disease.

Ok, ok… so what do you do about it? Get up and move!
- Change your transit route to allow for more walking to and from work.
- Arrange your office in a way that more movement is required to accomplish tasks.
- Sit or bounce on a ball instead of using a chair at your desk
- Utilize a standing workstation.
- Fidget!
- Pace the halls.
- Stretch, reach, lean, squat, pull, and push to keep moving all day long – squirm.
- Take a walk.
- Walk up and down the stairs.
- Take advantage of onsite or offsite exercise facilities and classes offered by your company.
- Pack your own lunch so you have time to get some exercise on your lunch break.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day, making it easy to excuse yourself for refills or bathroom breaks.
- Use the buddy method to motivate more activity in the workplace.
Outside of work? Try these:
- Outdoor recreational activities
- Playing with your children or grandchildren
- Gardening
- Yard work
- House work
- Home repairs
- Shopping
- Or, dancing
In short, activity increases bowel movements and burns calories making it a win/win for your waistline and lifeline! So, go ahead… squirm, fidget, and wiggle throughout your day!
